		<p>To have a better looking diagram, it is important that 
			<b>elements which have the same role or importance are represented with the same size</b>. 
		</p>
		<p>To adjust easily the size of a set of element, it is recommended to use the 
			<b>
				<i>Make height and width same size</i>
			</b> tool. To perform this action, the selected elements must contain at least two nodes. This tool will automatically adjust the size of the first selected element to fit with 
			<b>the last selected one</b>.
		</p>

					</a>
				</div>

		<h2 id="Autosize">Autosize</h2>
		<p>Auto size tool propose 
			<b>to resize all selected elements</b>. The size is automatically adjusted in order to 
			<b>optimize the space</b> to avoid the diagram to be too big but keeps enough space to show all the information (sub elements, labels, etc.) without modifying the original layout.
		</p>
		<p>The Auto size tool is available in the diagram editor toolbar.</p>
